Mercury in House 3

Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. House 3 is the house of the everyday and the close at hand: brothers and sisters, neighbours, short journeys and practical learning. It's the stuff of daily life — the conversations and the first lessons in things.

In the third house — of brothers, of neighbours and of short journeys — Mercury is on ground dear to it, a cadent house of lesser strength but of good nature, where the Moon has its joy and where the planet’s significations abound by nature. Determined to this house, it spreads its wit through the commerce of daily life: the letters, the errands, the comings and goings, the dealing with those nearby. It inclines to a mind always in movement, to easy conversation, to learning many small things, to the craft that asks for nimble hands and word. It gives good relations with brothers and neighbours, a taste for short journeys, deftness in the letters of first instruction. It tends to live by connections and messages. As this planet has not yet revealed its condition here, it remains open whether such exchanges bring concord or entanglement.
